Mangione's Guilty Plea, Selena Gomez Sued, the Clancy Trial & Tyra vs. Netflix

A heavier docket than usual this week, and worth every minute. A confessed killer pleaded guilty on purpose, a wellness company allegedly fell apart in the dark, and the queen of the reality edit is suing over an edit. I slow down where it matters. Here's what we cross-examined: The weapon that looks like surrender. Luigi Mangione pleaded guilty to federal charges in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, and it wasn't a white flag, it was a tactic. I break down the double jeopardy gamble his lawyers are running to try to kill the bigger New York state murder case, why New York's own law is broader than the Constitution's, and why life is still on the table federally. The wellness company that wasn't. Selena Gomez and her mom Mandy Teefey are being sued by investors over their mental health startup Wondermind. What securities fraud actually means, why the phrase "dereliction of her duties" is the whole ballgame for a celebrity co-founder, and why a big-name lawyer's fiery denial is advocacy, not a verdict. The Lindsay Clancy trial, handled with care. The criminal trial is deciding whether she was responsible for the deaths of her three children. But two civil lawsuits, one filed by Lindsay and one by her ex-husband Patrick on behalf of the children's estates, argue her doctors were. I explain both suits, and the causation thread that could let the criminal verdict quietly decide the civil ones. Postpartum psychosis is real, and it's treatable when it's caught. Tyra Banks vs. Netflix. Can you defame someone using a completely real interview? Tyra says Netflix's America's Next Top Model documentary edited her into a false portrayal. I cover defamation by implication, the anti-SLAPP motion Netflix fired back with, and their pure-poetry argument that the queen of the reality edit is mad about being edited.
